Cranberry, apple and mincemeat strudel
Cranberry, apple and mincemeat strudel combines a strudel filling with festive flavours inside a buttery flaky pastry crust. This easy strudel recipe is my version of a traditional apfelstrudel and is simple to prepare.
Ingredients
- 500 grams flaky pastry
- 3 apples
- 3 tablespoons mincemeat
- 1 tablespoon cranberries
- 2 tablespoons chopped almonds
- 3 teaspoons demerara sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Prepare the pastry
- Roll out the pastry to form a rectangle. Trim the sides to form straight edges.
- Mark three equal rectangles (do not cut through the pastry). Cut the two outer rectangles into ribbons of equal width (see the photos).
Add the strudel filling
- Arrange the chopped apples, ground cinnamon, mincemeat, cranberries, 2 teaspoons sugar and 2 tablespoons chopped almonds evenly over the central part of the pastry (see photos).
Form the pastry plait
- Using the pastry trimmings, form two small rectangles of pastry and place one at each end of the strudel filling.
- Take one of the cut ribbons of pastry and place over the fruit filling at an angle. Do the same with the corresponding ribbon from the other side (see photos). Repeat with the other ribbons until the strudel filling is covered with pastry.Tip - leave some gaps in the pastry to allow steam to escape while it is in the oven.
- Brush with milk. Sprinkle with the rest of the sugar and chopped almonds.
Bake
- Bake at 180℃, 350℉, gas mark 4 until the pastry is firm and slightly golden (about 45 minutes).
